which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more
information go to:

WARNING!
• Use only refrigerants and
compressor lubricants approved by
the manufacturer for your air
conditioning system. Some
unapproved refrigerants are
flammable and can explode, causing
injuries. Other unapproved
refrigerants or lubricants can cause
the system to fail, requiring costly
repairs.
• The air conditioning system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid risk of personal injury or
damage to the system, adding
refrigerant or any repair requiring
lines to be disconnected should be done by an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
Periodically remove any leaves and
insects
that may build up and obstruct
the inlet of external air in the air
conditioning system through the grille
present underneath the rear part of
the hood.
To access the grille, lift the hood as
described in “Hood Operation” in
section “Before Starting”.
Wheels Maintenance Tires Maintenance CAUTION!
To obtain the best performances and
the longest mileage from the tires,
take the following precautions during
the first 310 mi (500 km):
• do not drive at the vehicle’s
maximum speed;
• drive at low speed on curves;
• avoid sudden steering;
• avoid sudden braking;
• avoid sudden acceleration;
• do not drive at high speeds for too
long.
The tires inflation pressure must
correspond
to the prescribed values
(see the chapter “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”) and should be checked
only when the tires have cooled down.
In fact, the pressure increases as the
tire temperature progressively
increases.
Never reduce the pressure if tires are
hot (see “Tires – General Information”
chapter in section “Driving”).Maintenance and Care

Insufficient tire inflating pressure can
cause tire overheating and possible
internal damage.
CAUTION!
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve stem,
which could damage it.
Impacts with curbs, holes, and
obstacles
in the road, and prolonged
trips on rough roads can cause tire
damage which may not be visible to
the naked eye.
Check your tires regularly for any signs
of damage (e.g. scratches, cuts, cracks,
bulges, etc.). If sharp objects penetrate
the tires, they can cause structural
damage which is only visible when the
tire is removed.
In any case, any possible damage must
be inspected by an experienced
technician, as it may seriously reduce
the tire life.
Remember that tires deteriorate with
time, even if used little or not at all.
Cracks in the tire tread and sides,
alongside possible bulging, are a sign
of deterioration. WARNING!
• Check the inflating pressure of the
tires when cold, at least every two
weeks and before long trips.
• Have old tires inspected by an
experienced technician, to make
sure they can still be used safely. If
the same tire has been on your
vehicle for 4 or 5 years, have it
inspected anyway by an
experienced technician.
• Never fit tires of uncertain origin.
• “Directional” tires have an arrow on
their side showing the rolling
direction. To keep the best
performance when replacing a tire,
make sure that the rolling direction
corresponds to the one shown by
the arrow.
• During the tire life, the rolling
direction used for the first fitting
should always be observed, also in
case of “nondirectional” tires.
• Check the depth of the tire tread at
regular intervals. The thinner is the
tread, the greater is the risk of
skidding.
• Drive carefully on wet roads to
decrease the risk of aquaplaning. Winter Tires
These
tires are specially designed for
driving on snow and ice and are fitted
to replace the ones supplied with the
vehicle.
The specific features of the winter
tires lead to lower performance under
normal environmental conditions or
on long highway trips, compared to
the standard tires.
Therefore, their use should be limited
to the situations and performance for
which they have been type-approved.
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide all necessary information
about fitting winter tires on the
vehicle.
NOTE:
• We recommend fitting winter tires
on the vehicle at temperatures
below 45 °F (7°C) since the driving
performance of summer tires is
reduced at low temperatures.
Summer tires may be permanently
damaged at extremely low
temperatures.
• Comply with all state and local laws
governing snow tire and tread depth
requirements.Maintenance and Care

• Clean and protect polished metal
parts with special products available
on the market.
• Cover the vehicle with a long cloth
in breathable fabric (available from
an Authorized Maserati Dealer ). Do
not use thick plastic sheets, which do
not allow the humidity on the
vehicle surface to evaporate.
• Inflate the tires up to a pressure
which must be 14.5 psi (1 bar) higher
than the normally prescribed one,
and check it at regular intervals.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the available “Indoor and
Outdoor Car Covers”, available in the
“Genuine Accessories” range.
WARNING!
The tire pressure must be brought
back to the prescribed value before
reusing the vehicle (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”). Restarting the Vehicle Before restarting the vehicle after a
long period of inactivity, we
recommend that you carry out the
following operations.
• Check the tires for pressure and for
any damages, cuts or cracks. If this is
the case, have them replaced.
• Do not dry-rub the external surface
of the vehicle: use a damp cloth.
• Visually inspect if there are any fluid
leaks (oil, brake and clutch fluid,
engine coolant etc.).
• Have the engine oil and filter
replaced.
• Check the fluid levels in the brake
system, as well as the engine coolant
level.
• Check the air filters and have them
replaced if necessary.
• Reconnect the battery after checking
the charge status (refer to
“Maintenance-Free Battery” in this
section) and perform the initializing
procedure if applicable. You can
consult the paragraph “Battery
Reconnection” in this chapter for
further information on this subject. • With the transmission in N (Neutral),
let the engine idle for several
minutes.
WARNING!
The engine idle must be performed
outdoors. Exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide which is strongly
toxic and potentially lethal.
WARNING!
California Proposition 65

minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a

• FLC (Full Loading Condition): considering 4 or 5 passengers + luggage.
(°) Speed driving higher than
124 mph (200 km/h)

Pressure 220 kPa – 32 PSI (2.2 bar) 260 kPa – 38 PSI (2.6 bar) 260 kPa – 38 PSI (2.6 bar)
Spare tire pressure 350 kPa – 51 PSI (3.5 bar)
(°) Not for winter and all-season tires.
NOTE:
• The pressure values indicated in the table are also reported on the driver-side door pillar information label.
• For more information about the pressure check methods, see “Tires – General Information” in section “Driving”.
WARNING!
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions.
• Under-inflation increases tire flexing and can result in tire overheating and failure.
• Over-inflation reduces a tire's ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuckholes can cause damage that
results in tire failure.
• Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
• Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
• Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left.

(Continued)
• Always drive with each tire inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
• Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and other obstacles can cause serious damage to
wheels, tires, and suspension parts. This is more likely to occur with low-profile tires, which provide less cushioning
between the wheel and the road. Be careful to avoid road hazards and reduce your speed, especially if your vehicle is
equipped with low-profile tires.
